20 Questions With Gay Porn Newcomer Jacob Ladder
Str8UpGayPorn’s latest and greatest obsession is gay porn newcomer Jacob Ladder. You’ve seen the thick-cocked vers bottom on Man Royale, Men.com, Gay Castings, and most recently Cock Virgins, but now we get the sassy and sexy star all to ourselves in this week’s “20 Questions With…”
Without further ado, 20 Questions With Jacob Ladder!
1. Basic info: What is your height, weight, age, eye color, hair color, and city in which you live?
I’m 5’8” on a good day, 150 on a fat day, and I’m of legal age to do adult stuff. Both my hair and eyes are naturally dark brown. I’m based out of NYC.
2. This question gets asked a zillion times, but I still have to ask: What made you decide to become a gay porn star?
It’s not a choice, it’s something you’re born as.
3. Who did you first contact to start in the industry, and where was your very first scene?
I think I applied to a couple places and just sent in my photos, then the Fabscout Agency contacted me and explained their role within the industry, so I decided to have them represent me. My very first scene was with a site called Suburban Boys, and that was a solo scene; but, my first duo scene was with Men.com.
4. What was the most surprising aspect of that scene? Did you have certain expectations of what it would be like to work on a porn set?
The most surprising aspect of the Men.com scene was that the other guy, Jarec Wentworth, was straight. I’m sure people have their opinions on gay-for-pay, but he did his job and that’s all that matters for me when I go on set. I didn’t have many expectations going into it because I didn’t know too many porn stars in real life when I came into the industry. However, one of my main interests when doing new things is to take in as much information as I can, and I feel that every new scene is a learning opportunity.
5. You have such a big bubble butt and have been such a great bottom in all your scenes, but you also have such a big dick, too. Will you film more topping scenes? Do you have a preference?
First off, thank you for the dick compliment. I have filmed several topping scenes, but only one has been released so far. I’m fine with doing either; I’d rather be fluid than relegated to a particular role.
6. I noticed in your Twitter profile you reference Rentboy, but there’s no link. Do you currently escort?
I do escort, generally in the Manhattan area. My profile can be found on the Rentboy site under Jacob Ladder. It’s just a long web address, so I don’t want it on my Twitter for organizational sake.
7. Do you have a day job or go to school when you’re not doing porn? How do you fill your spare time?
I went to Parsons and have a BFA in Fashion Design. I do freelancing and random art-related jobs occasionally. Free time is usually spent playing video games, working out, criticizing others, criticizing myself, criticizing animals, the usual things.
8. Who has been your favorite scene partner to work with so far?
I have multiple favorites, but I think my best fully realized scene would have to be my (still unreleased) scene with Markie More, just because the chemistry was there and it was a versatile scene; everything was fun about it. Also, I have a weakness for blond boys.
9. Other than blonds, do you have a certain type?
Housebroken, has all of his shots, and looks good in a collar.
10. Are you dating or single? What is the first thing you notice in another guy?
I’m single. His American Express Black card.
11. Any bad or negative experiences on set?
Negative experiences are generally never any one person’s fault. Like, one day I remember a construction crew just happened to be working outside, and it just delayed everything. That’s never good for the models, cause for me I can do really well at the beginning, but if it all takes too long I get tired and cranky about the whole experience.
12. What do you think is your best physical feature? What about your best personality trait?
My high cheekbones.
12 (con’t). And best personality trait?
Pass.
13. Your porn name is based on a very scary movie from several years ago. Why did you pick it?
Well I was going for an ironic play on the staircase to heaven, but now that I think about it, a horror movie is much more appropriate for me.
14. What do you think about the proliferation of gay porn star GoFundMe campaigns? Would you ever start one?
Porn stars are inherently narcissistic, so it makes total sense that some would use this method. However, I associate the GoFundMe process more with businesses or start-up companies, so I wouldn’t be comfortable using it for personal purposes.
15. Looking ahead to this year, with whom would you like to film, and where do you see yourself by the time Christmas rolls around?
I’m really open about who I would like to work with (barring bareback or unsafe practice companies). In terms of performers, some on my current wishlist would be: Colby Keller, Darius Ferdynand, Paddy O’Brian, and Tayte Hanson. There are more, I’m just terrible with names and keeping up with the hundreds that are out there.
16. Which gay porn stars do you look up to, admire, or think are doing great work right now?
I look up to gay porn stars who are working to change the image of performers from one of sleazy airheads to one of intelligent, empowered individuals who aren’t exploited ephemerally.
17. Did you watch any gay porn before you started doing it yourself? What kind?
Does the show The Doctors count?
18. In all your selfies you are serving so much face. Do you model outside of porn?
I get asked occasionally to do some things, but not for editorial purposes. However, I would like to since my main interests are in the fashion world, and I devoted a large portion of my life studying the art.
19. Do friends and family know you’re a gay porn star?
Like, one person in my family knows, and they don’t particularly like it at all. My friends are always supportive, however, so I’m glad for that.
20. Anything you’d like to say to your fans before I let you go?
Thank you for supporting me. Buy me things. And buy my album on iTunes.
